Why Dr. Phil Tells Guests Their Daughter ‘Needs To Be Removed From This Home’

CJ and his ex-wife, Kaylie, have been told they’ve been breaking the law. Kaylie has been permitting their 14-year-old daughter to participate in adult activities like having sex and smoking marijuana. She also reports allowing her child to drop out of school.

CJ, who has primary custody of the teen, claims he objects to Kaylie’s parenting methods, but acknowledges he knowingly sent his daughter to stay with her.

Gabrielle claims she’s “completely mature enough to be in a sexual relationship,” and old enough to make her own decisions. She says she doesn’t like being told what to do; claims she likes the lifestyle she and Kaylie share and wants to continue living with her mom.

“You’ve got one of two choices here,” Dr. Phil tells the teenager’s parents on Friday’s episode. “And I think you really only have one reasonable choice and that is: she needs to be removed from this home at this point.”

When he refers Gabrielle go to Turn-About Ranch for teens, how does she respond?

And what does he recommend to CJ and Kaylie do to avoid having their daughter permanently removed from their care?
